Chapter 233: Don’t Push Your Luck

Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows and pointed at the beam. “Just this piece of wood is worth 10 taels. The entire house was built using hundreds of pieces of this wood. Isn’t Madam Qu forcing me by wanting to buy my house with just 200 taels? Do you want me to offer it to you with both hands like that?” So she thought that the amount was too little, such a greedy woman.

Madam Qu’s eyes darkened and she stood up to defend herself. “You didn’t spend a single cent on the wood you harvested. How are you making a loss by receiving 200 taels?! Besides, so what if the materials used for this house are good? It’s just built in a remote village.”

The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up, and her eyes were cold. ‘Then let me ask you, Madam Qu, why didn’t you built a house yourself, but chose to buy my house?”

The wood on the Jade Spiritual Mountain belonged to the government. If Madam Qu went to the wasteland to cut wood, it would be stealing the private property of the government. It was a huge crime!

If Madam Qu could buy such a good house, why take such a huge risk to build She said angrily, “I said I’m buying! If I could build it myself, I would have done so long ago. Why would I care about your lousy house?”

Bai Wutong had already reached her limit. If not for Qu Yuanxian, she would have long chased her out.

Bai Wutong said coldly, “I’m not selling. I advise Madam Qu not to do this again to avoid bringing trouble to Lord Qu.”

If someone deliberately targeted Madam Qu and framed Qu Yuanxian for embezzlement and bribery, they would definitely be investigated.

Madam Qu flew into a rage out of humiliation. “I said I’m buying!’ She reached into her pocket and took out three 100-yuan banknotes. She threw them in front of her. “Is this enough?”

In order to build a good relationship with her, everyone would sell high-priced items to her at a low price.

Bai Wutong was so stubborn and did not give in, causing her good bearing to be torn apart.

Bai Wutong chuckled. “This house is my and my husband’s love nest. We’ll live happily here for the rest of our lives. You want to buy our house for 500 taels? Mrs. Qu, why don’t you go to Lintian Village and ask? There will definitely be a lot of people who are willing.”

The more she did not want to sell it, the more Madam Qu wanted to buy it.

She took out another 500 taels of silver and placed them on the table. ‘This should be enough!” She looked like she was determined to make Bai Wutong sell the house on that day.

With 1,000 tales of silver, even if she went to town to choose the best wood to build a house and build a new set of furniture, it was far enough!

Bai Wutong didn’t even blink, as if 1,000 taels of silver were nothing to her. Instead, she smiled.

Madam Qu met her meaningful gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that Bai Wutong was going to cause trouble again.

As expected, Bai Wutong said, “Not enough. ‘

It was already her limit to take out 1,000 taels of silver. She couldn’t help but cursed, “Don’t push your luck!”

The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up. “Isn’t Madam Qu rich? Can’t you afford it? Tsk, tsk. I thought Madam Qu was very confident, but it turns out that you’re nothing much.”

Bai Wutong’s fleeting comment was like a heaw punch to the prideful Madam Qu.

Her chest rose and fell in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She glared at her and said to the maidservants, “Let’s go!’

Madam Qu flicked her sleeve and left. Bai Wutong stared at her back and narrowed her eyes. ‘Qingfeng, find a messenger pigeon.” She was going to write a letter to Qu Yuanxian.

If Madam Qu’s style of doing things was still not proper, it would be too late.

The secret guard reported this matter to Chu Tianbao, who was already thinking normally.

Chu Tianbao’s deep eyes darkened.

The next day, the news that Madam Qu wanted to forcefully buy her house to humiliate Bai Wutong suddenly spread.

When Little Cat found out, he decided to avenge Bai Wutong.

He found Zhao Erwa and the others and received everyone’s unanimous agreement.

If someone dared to bully Madam Bai, they would teach them a lesson.

But Zhao Erwa was lost again. “How can we take revenge?”

They could not defeat the other party at all with their small fists. Not only did

Madam Qu have a maidservant, but she also brought a guard with her.

Little Cat said, “1 have my ways.”

He beckoned with his hand, and the little turnip heads leaned closer and spoke in low voices.

Everyone’s eyes lit up and they quickly ran home.

Little Cat suddenly appeared behind her, making Tao Yinzhen shocked. “What are you doing?”

Little Cat said in a deep voice, ‘Give me 200 copper coins.”

Ever since Madam Chen poisoned Ren Shuixing and was arrested with conclusive evidence, whenever Tao Yinzhen looked into Little Cat’s dark eyes, she felt flustered.

Thinking of Madam Chen’s arrest and her two daughters-in-law’s hesitant expressions, Tao Yinzhen panicked even more. She hurriedly avoided Little Cat’s gaze and entered the room to get him 200 copper coins.

In the past, Little Cat would definitely tell her what he wanted to do with the money. Now that Little Cat did not say anything, she did not dare to ask.

Tao Yinzhen had never expected that she would be so afraid of her son.

Little Cat left with the copper coins, and Tao Yinzhen also left immediately after. She was going to the neighboring village for fortune telling to see if Little Cat was possessed by something dirty.

The little turnip heads more or less collected some copper coins from their families.

With Little Cat taking the lead, they surrounded Qu Xian and Qu Sheng, who were reading.

Qu Xian and Qu Sheng looked confused. They did not know why these classmates who were ostracizing them suddenly surrounded them.

Suddenly, Little Cat threw a copper coin in front of Qu Xian and Qu Sheng and ordered arrogantly, “Smile for me.”

He was used to such people. They looked so damn good at scaring people.

The other little children imitated Little Cat and curled their lips. “Smile for us too.”

Although they did not understand why they did this, Qu Xian and Qu Sheng could sense that Little Cat was deliberately humiliating them.

Eldest Brother Qu Sheng stood up. ‘Go away! I’ve called you the teacher over!” No one stepped back. No matter what, they had to avenge Madam Bai, who was the best person in the world, that day.

Little Cat said in a deep voice, “Doesn’t your family like to use money to force others? I’ll give you money now and let you experience the same feeling.”

Little Cat took out another handful of copper coins from his pocket and threw at them. “Go on and smile! I’m asking you to smile! It’s just a smile. Why? Is the money not enough? We still have a lot!’

Zhao Erwa and the others provided additional support. “Smile! We are asking you to smile! If it’s not enough, we still have more!”

The copper coins fell one after another. The angry Qu Xian suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Little Cat’s collar.

He raised his hand high, but before it could land, Little Cat punched him hard in the cheek

Qu Xian screamed and his nose bled.

When Qu Sheng saw his brother being beaten up, he lost his rationality. “Brat, how dare you hit my brother!’

He pounced and bit Little Cat.

When Zhao Erwa saw his underling being beaten up, he immediately joined the battle.

When Mr. Liu came to class, the tables, chairs, and benches were all overturned. The little children were fighting fiercely, especially the Qu brothers who were being pressed down and beaten up.

Mr. Liu said angrily, “All of you, stop!’

Qu Liangyu rushed over after receiving the notice. When he saw his two sons whose eyes were swollen, his face instantly darkened.

“How do you know how to fight!’

He was clearly looking at Qu Sheng and Qu Xian when asking. Other than Little Cat smiling sinisterly, all the little children present were frightened..
